The ABCC is part of the Australian Public Service (APS) and employs people under the Public Service Act 1999. As APS employees, staff are employed by the ABCC on behalf of the Australian Government.
All APS employees must uphold the APS Values and abide by the APS Code of Conduct.
We offer a professional work environment where each employee can make a difference with the Australian community.
Some employee entitlements and conditions are identical across all government agencies. However, other conditions such as pay levels are decided at the ABCC and outlined in its collective agreement with staff.
Information about pay and employment conditions for all non-Senior Executive Service staff is contained in the 
ABCC Enterprise Agreement - 912KB.
In line with the Australian Public Services’ ‘One APS Career, Thousands of Opportunities,’ working at the ABCC creates opportunities for staff to transfer to other public service agencies. Entitlements such as accrued annual leave, personal/carers leave and years of service typically follow you when you transfer between public service agencies.
Similarly, where an employee joins the ABCC from an employer staffed under the Public Service Act 1999, the Parliamentary Service Act 1999 or from the ACT Government Service, accrued annual leave and personal/carers leave will be transferred provided there is no break in continuity of service.
The ABCC offers a productive and supportive workplace that is rewarding, enjoyable and safe for all staff. The ABCC’s commitment to creating a positive workplace culture is demonstrated by its policies regarding flexible working arrangements, diversity in the workplace, paid paternity and maternity leave, learning and development opportunities and competitive salary packages.
